I see the following in logcat:

I/Gecko   ( 8851): WARNING: Not same origin error!: file /Users/kats/zspace/mozilla-git/dom/base/nsJSEnvironment.cpp, line 346
E/GeckoConsole( 8851): [JavaScript Error: "ReferenceError: event is not defined" {file: "http://ak2.ostkcdn.com/js/jqtouch-167.min.js" line: 1}]

I'm guessing the second error is responsible; probably touch events are getting prevented and then erroring out. This will need to be investigated more.

Really quickly looking at the jquery source I see a touchstart event handler that looks like:

function D(ay) {
  H();
  if (event.changedTouches && event.changedTouches.length) {
    au = event.changedTouches[0];
    aw = au.pageX;
    av = au.pageY
  }


i.e. they're depending on a global event object. (Apple.com does this too!)

Everything is working. Closing as WFM.
